As a non-Leafs fan, even I'm starting to feel the frustration. At this point getting out of the first round in this lifetime is going to feel like a Cup win for Leafs fans.
hope matthews leaves he deserves a winning situation

Aye, cardinal rule of nature: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Leafs came back stronger after that embarrassing Habs series, gotta believe they will come out stronger this time too.
The lightning have clinched 4 playoff series in Toronto in the last 3 years while the leafs haven't won a series since 04

Let's be honest: They're making the playoffs these days. That's already a victory. We went through 12 years of nothing prior to drafting Matthews. Making the playoffs is considered a Stanley Cup win in Toronto because it means they finished in the upper half of the league for a change.

Every major league sport has a polarizing team - in the NHL - it’s Toronto.
I always find myself rooting against the Leafs come playoff time. But I almost feel kind of bad for them this year. Oh well, great series
I like the "kind of" in your comment, that's how I feel
I got no problem with the leafs. It's Millen, Simpson, and all the other super smarmy homers that surround this team that I can't stand. Drink the tears and enjoy it.

The fact that no one is talking about that ridiculous call on Holl is crazy.. that goal makes this a 2-2 game going into OT at home.. crazy to think the refs had that much impact. Congrats to the bolts..
Ikr I was about to say the same thing and as a leafs fan when I was watching the game and that happened I was so frustrated.
obvious holding on the boards right before the first goal... nhl refs are trash
No one is talking about the lightning player holding Muzzin’s stick on the second goal either. They called back a Leaf goal due to interference that directly resulted in a goal, but when the Lightning did the same they turned a blind eye. Brutal.

As a Lightning fan I have to say Toronto is the best team we played in these last 3 cup runs. I believed in my team but I was scared at how fast Toronto can score. Never in that series did I think we truly figured them out and were always playing catch up. Vassy stole a few games and that was the difference.
That team has all the pieces like we did since 2017-2018 we just couldn't get over the hump we would run into a great Pittsburg or Washington team and break our hearts. Toronto is a scary team I hope we never have to play them again in the playoffs next year , god help anybody that does.
Rematch this year my friend. Should be a gooder.
and in turn tampa are the only team i respect that the leafs have ever played in the playoffs (not counting columbus and washington lol) i saw this live, tampa were just a little better unlike boston who were always just a little dirtier
Well said I’m excited for this seasons rematch I can’t wait for another great serise!!!
Lets be honest it's happening again. I hope we can take it this time but it's going to be a great and close series either way
Another lightning fan here, we’ve likely got a rematch to prepare for. Hopefully we’ll be able to come out on top again, but man, it’s gonna be a crazy matchup for sure.

@@charlisantini3403 Lol it is what is it. I get that refs cant call everything and they sure are good at missing calls when it matters most...but they call that. He did not go out of his way to hit him, did not change speed, didnt do anything and they accidentally made contact. But then Giordano gets punched in the face on the following PK, and Nylander gets tripped in the third on the PP, and that's fine? I dont cheer for the Leafs but this is just brutal. No wonder some fans are pissed off when the officiating is so inconsistant and changes the course of games like this one
As a Bolts fan, I feel bad for Matthews and the Leafs. They're a good team but they just can't make it happen. It's gotta be frustrating.

I wish it was a rule that fans of the losing team should just keep their mouths shut.
Champions bend, they don't break. Two great offensive teams, but as I said from the outset of the series, the team that knows how to play strong DEFENSE will ultimately win. On the road. Impressive. Observe the strong backcheck of the Bolts in that 3rd, clearing pucks, strong on the boards, blocking shots, winning battles. Vasi = money. That's what wins in May. That 3rd period was why the Bolts are champs and the Leafs are a "good hockey team."
Well said
Helps when the refs don't call much against your team either, while I agree with everything you've said, all this series boiled down to was the refs being the difference makers.
@@paulthompson8793 Sorry bud, but that was a penalty on boll....they had 6 games before that to not have a game 7. Officiating needs to be better in general, but if it was all the refs fault bolts would have swept, right?
Leaf's actually never fell for that Tampa counterattack all series. Well other then a occasional breakdown like that 3 on 1 in this game, so that was impressive. Tampa just clogs the middle of the ice like nobody else though so you are spot on about their defensive game, and as you said that's how you win cups.
@@anthonyfaccaro7118 You say that, but why wasn't it called later in the 3rd when Tampa did it right back to the Leafs? exact same play, refs just don't call it on the bolts. If you wanna explain that to me I'll listen. Want another one? check 7:30 and explain how that isn't a tripping call, ref clearly sees it, why isn't that a call? clear as day textbook trip.
being in a tough division is no excuse I grew up dealing with the Oilers and Flames dominating things still found a way to three finals ( no cup yet)

I always tune in to watch the leafs loose. Its tradition.
Who is back after the Leafs advanced?
I am
Рад за Тампу, ведь там наши, но и Торонто жаль. В этом году играли очень хорошо. Жаль таваресе. Такое тоже бывает, что великий игрок без Кубка.
В Торонто тоже наши Михеев, Любушкин.
@@cleo2596 ну это не спорю, но они на вторых-третьих ролях и игру не определяют. Хотелось бы, чтоб обладатели Кубка были те, кто, как минимум в топе. Мент Луис, Тампа, пингвины, Рейнджерс.
Leafsnet and TSN are crying. Seeing Toronto clubs to struggle and fail seems entertaining. As a Habs Fan, never hated the Leafs or any other club for that matter. The problem with Toronto these past years is the squad not getting over the Mental Hump and the media pressure.
So sorry that the Maple Leafs couldn't do it this year. I know the fans were anticipating a return to 1967, but the two-time (or three, counting their first Cup won) champion Lightning were not to be denied. They go on to play the cross state rival Panthers in the Battle of Florida.
Yep. I had a hunch history would repeat itself......again. I gave up on this club years ago. A game 7 at home. Too much pressure.
I agree - would have probably been better to play on the road - the faces on the fans and players the last 10 minutes was utter fear of the inevitable
it never ends
IT NEVER ENDS
LOSING!
even after fifty seasons!
THAT SPELLS LEAFS!
I laugh at dead usa soldiers.

Thank god for dead usa soldeirs.
also losing the first round for 6 seasons straight
I actually got off easy this year because I was already in acceptance that they would lose in game 7. But the leafs are a strong team. They have a bright future. Tampa’s defense was better than ours. We need to keep building the blue line.
Not sure about the bright future 😂😂

The Leafs commitment to choking is truly astonishing
Ну торонто все равно были хороши в этом сезоне, против топовой команды отлично показали себя. Плохо что шайбу не засчитали.
что значит плохо? гол забит против правил. это не баскетбол, тут игрока нельзя блокировать

Здесь хоккей… сколько можно пихать эту тряпку куда попало
I remember my friends and I thinking in 2016 "Wow these leafs are going to a playoff threat for years to come. Probably get a cup within 5 years" 6 years later… haven’t won a series.
I really feel like these next couple years will see the Leafs make a genuine run, but I’ve been thinking that for years and here we are…
I'm hoping they'll have to let players go to manage the cap hit.
With all the talent on the team, they should be making runs and contending for cups. But they’re stuck in the first round.
Hell of a game. Don't worry folks, I'm from Toronto, we're used to this.
Leafs really testing that "infinite number of monkeys writing out the playoff script on an infinite number of typewriters" theory.
